Chapter 147: Donkey Lips, Horse Mouths, Chicken and Duck Theory
Long Qi returned to Xianyunju with the Cizhu Sword, but he was uneasy all day long. Even Maidong, who was pointing fingers at him, noticed that he was different.
This young man, who is usually dull, actually is a thoughtful person?
And Xinyi was even more strange. Although she was usually silent, she had never been as worried as she was now.
What's wrong with these two people? Even if it's the Kunwu Sect's affairs, they wouldn't be so heartbroken. Could it be...
Could it be that these two people acted like this because of me?
Although he was in love with Xin Yi and looked down on Long Qi, if this was really the case, it would really make him feel...
It really makes one's heart boil!
I never thought that the situation in the story would happen to me. How could I not be excited?
But having said that, I am, after all, a devoted woman. No matter how excited I am, I cannot show it. I must maintain my girlish reserve like the ladies in the storybooks!
But in the end it was because of me that these two brothers became like this. Even if I didn't like Long Qi, I had to make it clear. What if these two became enemies in the future, wouldn't I be a femme fatale?
Alas~ Who made me so stunning and charming? Since I have caused this romantic resentment, it is naturally my responsibility to avoid disaster!
Thinking of this, Maidong walked towards the two people who were sitting in the yard, thinking about their own things.
"Ahem!" She cleared her throat. "Well... Long Qi, although I know your feelings, love is something that cannot be forced. As the old saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. If you insist on doing this, we may not even be able to be friends in the future. It's better to let go and help others. Isn't that what a gentleman does?"
Hearing what Mai Dong said, Long Qi was immediately shocked. Even this idiot Mai Dong could see through his thoughts, so why was Ling Xiang still so obscure? In a sense, she was much smarter than the person in front of her, wasn't she...
but……
What does it mean to help others?
To help Lingxiang and Rendong get together? Or to help her and Xiaobai?
"I don't like what you said. Who says melons must be sweet? There are so many melons that are not sweet. Which of the wild melons, white melons, and white melons is sweet? Don't we still eat them the same? For some things, how can we know what the result will be if we don't fight for it? Besides, I'm not a gentleman. If I like someone, I will naturally fight for it!"
Mai Dong took a deep breath when he heard this. He had always seen Long Qi as a fool, but he had never expected him to talk nonsense like this. But he really couldn't blame him. His damn charm must have made him lose his mind...
"Alas, in fact, there are many beautiful women out there. You are so obsessed with one person. What if it makes her upset? If you love someone, you naturally can't let her feel embarrassed, right? Isn't letting go also a kind of love?"
What was said in the script, now that I finally have the chance to speak it out, it really is true...
What a pleasure!
"Why are you in such a dilemma? I'm not a bandit in the mountains who would force others to do anything. Besides, whether I like it or not is my business. Since I like it, how can I let it go?"
This Maidong is really strange. The ancients often said that it is better to demolish a temple than to destroy a marriage. Although Lingxiang and I have not yet married, she has indeed accepted my jade pendant. How can it be considered a token of love?
Yes, since she accepted it, it means she must have him in her heart.
So was this Qingfeng Jade Flute given to him or not?
Maidong felt a huge headache after hearing this. She had tried to persuade him so earnestly because she didn't want to hurt Long Qi's feelings. However, she didn't expect that this silly boy was actually a lovesick one. But the person she liked was Xinyi who was standing next to him!
Alas, in this kind of situation, it is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. It is best to cut the Gordian knot quickly, so as to avoid resentment in the future. When that time comes, it will be too late. Thinking of this, Mai Dong made up his mind: "Alas, I know that you will find it difficult to accept this, but there are some things that you still have to give up. Although I am naturally beautiful, after all, I... I have someone I like. You should let go of this idea as soon as possible. Who knows, you will meet someone who is more compatible with you in the future, right?"
This……
What kind of bullshit is this? What does it have to do with him that she has someone she loves? Even a fool would know that this crazy girl is chasing Xinyi around all day long, but what does this have to do with his love for Lingxiang?
Just as Long Qi was about to speak, he suddenly felt a warmth in his arms. He quickly reached out and took out a talisman.
……
"It's time to close the net."
Upon hearing this, Master Xuan Huai looked at the chessboard and saw that the white piece, which was about to be surrounded and killed, had a chance of life again.
"Hey~" Master Xuan Huai quickly pointed at Ling Xiang and said, "A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word. If I had two more pieces, I would have won this game. But you intervened and brought the white piece back from the dead."
Lingxiang smiled and sat on the couch: "I am just telling you two a truth. As the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused, while those who are watching can see clearly. Look at my brother, a chess player, who is deeply trapped in the chess formation you set up. He only thinks about how to break the formation, but never thinks about how to find a way out. Naturally, it is a dead end."
Upon hearing this, Master Xuan Huai raised his eyebrows and said, "From what you implied, could it be that I guessed wrong?"
Lingxiang smiled and crossed her legs: "Of course it's wrong. It's true that the Kunwu Sect has infiltrated the demon clan, but it's not your eldest disciple. And since the disciples of Xuantan Taoist can imitate the mountain defense formation of my Yuanqing Sect, they are definitely not demons. The real demon clan member is someone else."
Master Xuan Huai was shocked. Looking at all the people in the mountain gate, only those two younger generations had been acting abnormally in recent days. If it wasn't them, who else could it be?
Just as he was thinking, he saw Lingxiang sitting in meditation: "Of course there are others, but I think those two must have been affected by the demons. Now I can defeat one of them. I hope you will not be greedy for the fun of the chessboard, but keep your mind to protect me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lingxiang began to make hand gestures, muttering something, and after a moment she became motionless.
Master Xuanhuai didn't understand, so he looked at Master Fuyin and asked him the reason, but Master Fuyin didn't know what he was talking about either, so he just shook his head blankly.
"My junior sister is very clever and eccentric. Even if something happens to her, she won't tell us senior brothers. But you can rest assured, Master. Although she looks a little tricky, she is very reliable."
Having said that, she is still a child after all. No matter how much experience she has, how much can she have? How can she be more powerful than those demons?
Master Xuan Huai had a worried look on his face, but if he knew what Ling Xiang had experienced since childhood, he probably wouldn't think so.
……
When Maidong saw the talisman in Long Qi's hand flashing with purple light, he was suddenly shocked - this talisman was glowing with purple light, which meant it was a blood talisman, and Long Qi naturally didn't know how to use talismans, so in this case, this talisman was made of spiritual incense.
What on earth was it that required the use of a blood talisman? Or was it just a mere substitute for a spirit talisman?
